The Green Bay Packers are heading into Week 18 with an 11-5 record, already securing a spot in the NFL Playoffs. However, they are dealing with some injury concerns. Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, who has been out since Week 11 due to a torn PCL, will require season-ending knee surgery. Additionally, Quay Walker, Evan Williams, Andre Dillard, and Zayne Anderson are all unavailable for the Bears game due to various injuries. Williams and Anderson, both safeties, leave the position thin for Green Bay.
As the postseason approaches, and with no guarantee that these players will recover in time, NFL analyst Khristopher Knox believes the Packers should consider signing a former three-time Pro Bowler who recently became a free agent. In an article for Bleacher Report, Knox highlighted Jamal Adams as a potential addition for Green Bay.
Adams, who was recently released by the Detroit Lions after a brief stint, could provide much-needed depth to the Packers’ safety position, especially with injuries to Javon Bullard and others. Additionally, Adams’ knowledge of Detroit’s defensive strategies might be valuable if the two NFC North teams face off again in the postseason. Although Adams’ Pro Bowl days are behind him, the Packers could benefit from his experience and expertise, given their thinning depth at safety.
